PACE Not to Deliberate on Russia’s-Georgia’s Relations
The Board of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) resolved against expedient deliberations on Russia’s-Georgian relations, the News-Georgia agency reported. The return of Russia’s ambassador to Tbilisi has affected PACE’s standing on the issue, said Konstantin Kosachev, who heads Russia’s delegation in PACE.
Russia’s ambassador to Georgia was recalled in late September 2006 after Georgian enforcement officers detained Russia’s military on suspected spying.
PACE has committed two persons expected to report on relations of Georgia and Russia to proceed with the work and, if necessary, revive the issue during the next session that is slated for April 2007, Kosachev specified.
This session of PACE will be “one of the most complicated” for Russia since it became a member of the Council of Europe. Most of the reports relate to Russia in one way or other, Kosachev said some time ago.
Amid the highlights of the session are, for instance, preventing from using electric energy as an instrument of political pressure and fair trial of spying cases, to be more precise, the verdicts passed in Russia’s courts against the scientists. Georgia has previously voiced the intention to speak about violation of the rights of Georgian migrants deported from Russia.
